Tuning: E A D G B E
From the Quadrophenia Directors cut edition (it's a demo that wasn't on the original album).
All instrumentals done by Pete Townshend, but nevertheless credited to the Who.
Certain sections of the song wound up on other songs on the actual album (Mainly Bellboy, Dr. Jimmy
and is it in my head?).
